Importantly, BlazeMaster CPVC piping is fully certified for use in light hazard and residential occupancies, making it a versatile choice for many project types.
Based on these properties, BlazeMaster CPVC piping can be used for all light hazard occupancies as defined by the BRE Global Loss Prevention Board (LPCB), including:
BlazeMaster CPVC piping proves ideal for commercial projects due to its cost-effectiveness and ease of installation. For example, Hampshire County Council chose BlazeMaster CPVC for a school expansion project primarily because of its affordability in terms of both materials and labor. Additionally, the ease of working with BlazeMaster CPVC—being less disruptive to install than steel—allowed much of the work to be completed while school was in session. This resulted in the project being completed on time and within budget, demonstrating the practical benefits of choosing BlazeMaster CPVC piping.
BlazeMaster CPVC piping is also a preferred choice for various multifamily facilities, such as high-rise tower blocks, flats, student residence housing, and residential hotels. A notable example is the retrofit project at the Callow Mount high-rise in Sheffield, where the installation of BlazeMaster CPVC averaged just one day per flat, eliminating the need for resident relocation—a significant advantage in terms of convenience and project scheduling.
Key certifications for BlazeMaster CPVC include the Standard for Fixed Firefighting Systems – Automatic Sprinkler Systems – Design, Installation, and Maintenance BS EN 12845, BS9251, and the LPS1260, assuring compliance with stringent fire safety standards.
BlazeMaster CPVC piping is also a viable option for single-family homes. For instance, following Wales' new requirements for automatic fire sprinkler systems in residential buildings, a new housing development opted for BlazeMaster CPVC. The ease of installation simplified the integration with other building systems and ensured the project remained on track and within budget.
